RESUMO
Following the revision of the structure and content of the Model Core Curriculum for Medical Education to be more outcome-based and the legal status of the medical practice performed by medical students in the clinical clerkship, we have revised the Guideline for Participatory Clinical Clerkship. The following items were revised or newly described : significance of enhancing the participatory clinical clerkship, scope of medical practice, confidentiality, patient consent, patient consultation and support service, objectives of the clinical clerkship, simulation education, departments where the clinical clerkship is conducted, assessment in the clinical practice setting, CC-EPOC, and entrustable professional activities. A foundation has been established to promote seamless undergraduate and postgraduate medical education. However, future work is needed to examine the specific level of performance expected at the end of the clinical clerkship and department-specific clinical practice goals and educational strategies.
